I'll bet they receive much more favorable coverage than Syria's victims. I haven't read the NYT today, but I just finish watching France24, BBCNews & CBSNews, each reported that 20 Palestinians were killed by Israeli air strikes today. Nobody mentioned Assad's victims in Syria. VDC has already put that at 21 for today, but I doubt that will be the final total because for the week 29th June - 5th July for which they have complete info, they show the following daily tolls 73 - 64 -46 -77 -93 -75 - 72. The short story is that the slaughter of Syrians has become so regular and so accepted by the West that they almost never report on it. Worst still, the "Left" never protests it. Why doesn't the Angry Arab get angry about that? ________________________________________________ Send list submissions to: Marxism@lists.csbs.utah.edu Set your options at: http://lists.csbs.utah.edu/options/marxism/archive%40mail-archive.com
